Washington Post:
In making my choices for the best dance scenes, I looked at several factors: mastery of technique, imaginative choreography, quality of the music — this is very important — and design and storytelling. I value authentic expression more than dance doubles and tricky editing. But, in the final analysis, transcendence won out. Does the dancing carry me away, give me chills, distill some truth about the human experience? Whether it’s a masterpiece of steps and skill, or an intentionally funny, hot mess, or a dreamscape that’s intriguingly weird — dancing that moves you is great dancing.
I hate dancing (I feel all uncoordinated and clumsy) but I love watching dancing. These 31 scenes from the movies are a blast to watch.
Great stuff in that list.
Really good list. I also love Make ‘Em Laugh by Donald O’Connor.
I dislike having to learn how to dance, but I very much like having danced.
What, no Grease, no Ex Machina?
Checked it out to see if Breakin 2 Electric Boogaloo was on the list. Unfortunately I was disappointed 😉
